Island Composition 'The Asteroid'

ADA 60x45p Aquarium with a Island Composition

Our close friend and talented aquascaper, Ady Myers, crafted a stunning aquascape for the Horizon Aquatics Gallery. Inspired by a classic nature style, his concept incorporated wood arranged to evoke the dramatic effect of an asteroid crashing into rocks.

The Aquascape: "Asteroid"

The carefully arranged wood bursts outward from the central stone formation, capturing the raw force and chaos of an asteroid’s crash, yet framed within the tranquillity of a classic nature-style composition to give the illusion nature has taken over.
